    M939 Recovery / Extraction Shaft

    I am just trying to imagine the nightmare that is getting the length and index perfect to hook it up. Why would you even need to do that unless the stuck vehicle didn't run? It sounds a little far fetched to me.

    Transfer Case Low Range Reverse

    I would avoid it completely personally. It only takes one bad decision to make an expensive fix. But that is just me. High should do what you need anyways.

    M923a2 air compressor mystery

    That is kinda my plan for now. I will keep the gas compressor in the bed just in case. I think if I start pulling stuff apart I will cause more problems than I will fix. It is hard to diagnose a problem that isn't happening and I don't want to trash any gaskets in the process. If it happens...

    Balancing Beads ok to use after run flat removed?

    Tire beads work ok if the air inside the tire stays dry. If not it may clump and make the ride worse. Also, if you have beads inside the tire make sure you have air available if you check the tire pressure. The beads can hold the valve core open and allow the tire to go flat. Pumping air into...

    M923a2 air compressor mystery

    Ok, here is the update. I hooked up a gas compressor to the rear glad hand and got it home. It pumped up the system just fine with no air leaks on the truck. The trip was about 30 minutes or so. Air on both gauges read just fine the entire trip and nothing out of the ordinary. Now the strange...

    I've Had a Good Run...

    You couldn't get the lock any deeper into the cutters? Hopefully the bad news ends there.

    M923a2 air compressor mystery

    It isn't even warm to the touch. I heard that it should be very hot so I approached it cautiously but it was cold.

    I get that when I try to use a TM link while on Tapatalk. If I switch to regular browsing the TM links work fine.

    M923a2 air compressor mystery

    I will have it hooked to a compressor tomorrow to limp it back home and will be able to tell if there is a major leak somewhere. I will report back if there is. I don't think there will be though but that will help answer some questions.

    M923a2 air compressor mystery

    No pressure at all. Zero on both gauges and opening the drain valves produces nothing.

    M923a2 air compressor mystery

    Thanks guys. I climbed underneath and didn't feel or hear air coming from the bottom of the dryer. I didn't push anything up there though and will try that. The only place I heard any air was by the driver's front tire with the engine at 1200 RPM. It is just too loud to trace anything though...

    M923a2 air compressor mystery

    I have a BMY m923a2 5 ton truck with 8.3l Cummins engine. I have only had it less than two weeks. I have read the TMs and searched here and Google for an answer to my problem. Now I am left to ask for help, or atleast push me where to look next. I believe my air compressor is bad. From my...

    Anybody worked with humv rims??

    I think he covered it ^^^. I just dealt with a leak on a 14.00x20. Sprayed the heck out of it with soapy water and got nothing. I ended up laying it on a tarp and lacing the tarp together over the top like a little pool. Filled it with water and found my leak. A valve stem fitting was the...

    Anybody worked with humv rims??

    Soapy water works well for finding leaks. Dunking them in water is nice too if available.
